Without more information or a photo, it sounds like something I would pay $50 for at most.

Do you have room for it? Can you afford the price? Do you have the time/skills to to replace capacitors and do other routine restoration? (Yes, they all need that.)

Mr fixer is right. Soon after you buy anything, you'll find others for sale. It's a kind of Murphy's law.

Don't pay more than you're comfortable with. There is a cute Philco "briefcase" portable sitting in an antique mall near here. I was tempted to get it, but the seller was asking too much, in my stingy view. A couple of years later, the TV is still sitting there unsold.
